Nature is delighted when we open our hearts
To express the god-given talents
Of love and creativity
Of charity and of self-giving
Wonder fills our hearts
Whenever we have a glimpse of instinct
Which is the playfulness of life that abounds in
Children's open and sincere attitudes and behaviour.
Most of the world's problems today
Ranging from the inner city riots and crises
To larger scale wars, terrorism and genocidal activities
Are as a result of the fact that
Some children never had
Experience of love, affection
Appreciation and are neither
Guided to the right purpose to life
The attitude of children connects us
To the deeper wisdom of life
We are called to come back to humanism
To childlike innocence
To make the world a conducive place for existence
Direct our gaze in our hearts and
Trace our childhood innocence
adopting it at the same time
As our present existing attitudes in life
Thus, our thoughts, words and actions
Would be as harmless and friendly
As that which comes from the child's heart
Let's work out and build a better world
Free from degradation, violence and bloodshed
A world of generosity, love, justice and peace
So that future generations would inherit a world, which is close
To that of the mind of the Creator.
